Assuming the deep and shallow dishes are both parabolic, I would venture to guess that most designs lean towards the shallow depth because it uses less material and the angles involved are more forgiving.

As Airstreamer pointed out, one can provide less costly shielding techniques to the feed horn to eliminate or reduce signals approaching from acute angles.
